[CALIBK12] Fundraising ideas

Tue Jan 13 12:55:45 PST 2009

Our book club will be having a READATHON --- it works just like the
other "athons" --- people donate a flat fee, or a per-page fee.  We
schedule a day (Saturday) to meet at the school library.  We bring bean
bags, sleeping bags, comfy clothes, snacks, music, and a stack of our
favorite books.  We read for 6 hours and collect the donations!

Dear Pam and friends,

Funding is such a problem, and I don't know what will happen here at
Lompoc with our positions, but I can tell you how we have generated some
extra money.  About three years ago my colleague Bea Reynolds recognized
"gold" in a litter display I had made.  She said, "You know Mary, there
are a lot of recyclable materials in your display."  She teamed up with
CSF, and now the Drama Club, library TA's, a few student volunteers, and
Bea and I work hard to pick up all the bottles and cans that students
use here on the LHS campus.  I go out during my lunch hour to pick up
after the lunch crowd, and then throughout the week and on Friday's we
have students who pick up the bottles from bins that are in classrooms.

This program is called, "Recycle to Read," and I project that we will
clear close to $3,000.00 this year.  It has taken three years, but all
the classrooms have bins now, and I get most of the bottles after lunch.
There is a Special Education class that picks up the cans and bottles
from the cafeteria and they also get the ones that are just left around
on the patio after lunch.

All this money goes for YA fiction.  The first picks are the ones that
kids recommend, but then we also are able to buy other good choices that
we think they will like.  It is a lot of work, but it does a lot of
good.

Hello!

After losing our funds last year and knowing the budget situation for
this year I am desperate for some help in buying a few new books...

So, please send me your best ongoing fundraising idea!  What creative
methods have you used to earn a few extra library dollars?

I'm hoping to get something going but am not sure where to start.  I
am in a high school library so would love suggestions focusing on this
level but will take all ideas and compile a list.

Thanks!
